Solution

The correct option is D

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false


Starches are large, branched polymers of glucose that store energy for plants. Likewise, glycogen is a glucose polymer that is stored by animal cells for energy. Animals store glucose in the form of glycogen. Insect exoskeletons are made of chitin. Chitin is a polysaccharide, a type of carbohydrate that has a basic structure of a repeating chain of sugar molecules.
